Update 6/5: 📣🫐 Due to the forecast for inclement weather, the Ocean Springs Chamber-Main Street-Tourism Bureau has rescheduled the Red, White & Blueberry Festival to Saturday, July 11—and we're making it even bigger!

The Ocean Springs Fresh Market will still take place as scheduled this weekend, and there will still be plenty of fresh, locally grown blueberries available for purchase. Be sure to stop by, stock up on your favorite summer fruit, and support our amazing local vendors.

The Red, White & Blueberry Festival will now join forces with our annual July Sidewalk Sale Weekend, creating an exciting downtown celebration filled with blueberry-themed fun, local vendors, family-friendly activities, delicious treats, and some of the best shopping deals of the summer.

Mark your calendars for July 11 and join us for a summer celebration that's bigger, sweeter, and packed with hometown charm. We can't wait to see you in downtown Ocean Springs! 🫐☀️🛍️🎉
